[quote=Anonymous][quote=abarem123]Thank you. Living close to classmates is important to us and one of the things we like most about where we live now. We will likely rank Peabody in our PK4 lottery because we ultimately just need a spot for a year, but may prioritize moving to L-T, Maury, Brent, or Payne IB areas as opposed to Watkins/Peabody for that reason. Curious - why is Payne not a "top three" like L-T, Maury and Brent? Is it just historically more socioeconomically diverse and/or test score driven? I'll definitely check out the DC Bold Schools website![/quote]

To be totally honest, I think on this particular forum, the reason it is not in the 'top three' is because of the reason you guess. Although it will not be forever, it is still a Title 1 school, and has more racial and socio economic diversity than other schools nearby. I can't speak for all of the schools, but I know there is very little teacher turnover at Payne, with some teachers having taught generations of kids from the same family. Until it closed maybe 7-8 years ago, the family homeless shelter was in boundary for the school as well (that shelter was not in good physical shape so it has since been torn down and there are several other smaller/newer family shelters around the city now). 
As folks are saying, I don't really think you could go wrong at a lot of the schools mentioned on this thread. Another way to get a sense of the community is to see if you can find them on FB or Instagram.
